Michelle King, former acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, resigned after over 30 years of service due to conflicts with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) regarding access to sensitive personal data. Following her resignation, Leland Dudek, a career anti-fraud expert at the agency, was appointed acting commissioner while President Trump nominated Frank Bisignano for the permanent role. Advocacy groups raised alarms over potential privacy breaches, noting the sensitive nature of SSA data, which includes beneficiaries' earnings records and medical histories.
